LearnTube.ai

You don't just consume content. You reverse-engineer it.

You watch a reel, clock why it hooked you in the first two seconds, and you're already thinking about how to make something better. You've probably built a page, run a channel, or grown an account — maybe just for fun, maybe for a college club — and you know what it feels like when something lands.

You're not looking for a job where you write captions and hand them to someone else to execute. You want to own the whole thing. Script it, shoot it, edit it, post it, watch the numbers, and do it again — better.

If that's how your brain works, keep reading.

What this role actually is

This is an end-to-end creator role. Not a content planner. Not a copywriter. Not a social media manager in the traditional sense.

You'll work directly with LearnTube's founders — Gargi and Shronit — to build both their personal brands and LearnTube's voice across Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Some days you'll be behind the camera directing a shoot. Other days you'll be in front of it. Most days you'll be doing both, and editing the footage the same evening.

The work is visible. Literally. Your content will be in front of millions of learners across 64 countries.

Real work you'd own

LearnTube has a product that genuinely changes how people learn. That story isn't being told well enough yet. You'll fix that. The founders have strong points of view on edtech, AI, and the future of learning.

Your job is to turn those into content that people actually watch, share, and remember. Trends move fast. You'll be the person who spots a format on Wednesday and has a version live by Friday. Short-form is the priority — Reels, Shorts, LinkedIn videos — but you'll also help shape longer YouTube content and the overall visual identity of the brand.

The honest part

This role has no guardrails.

There's no content calendar handed to you on Monday morning. No creative director reviewing your scripts. You'll be expected to bring ideas, execute them, and figure out what's working — with the founders as your collaborators, not your approvers.

That's the upside too. If something you make goes viral, everyone will know it was yours. If you build a content playbook that outlasts your tenure here, that's a body of work you carry forever.

The learning curve is steep. The creative freedom is real. Both are true at the same time.

You're the person if

• You've made content before — for a brand, a club, a personal page, anything — and you can show us what happened
• You're comfortable on camera, or hungry enough to get there fast
• You can go from idea to posted without needing five rounds of feedback
• You understand what makes something stop the scroll — and you can execute it, not just describe it
• You're fluent in at least two of three: Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube
• CapCut, Premiere Rush, or whatever tool gets the job done doesn't intimidate you

This isn't the right fit if

• You prefer to stay strictly behind the camera
• You need heavy direction to start creating
• You're not already spending a meaningful amount of time on content platforms

The team: Google's Top 20 Startups to Watch. Google AI First Accelerator '24. Backed by funds of Naval Ravikant, Reid Hoffman, and founders from Udemy, Flipkart, Jupiter, PayU, and Inflection AI. 11–50 people building infrastructure for how the world learns.

Location: Mumbai. In-office.

About LearnTube: We're a Google-backed AI company in the career-tech space with 30 lakh+ users built by a team of 25. That ratio tells you something about how we work: with real velocity, deep ownership, and zero bloat.

Our cultural pillars aren't posters on a wall. We move fast. We raise the floor. We take ownership of outcomes. We build with head, body, and heart. Every person on this team works closely with the founders, has real influence on what we build, and sees their ideas go live not into a backlog.

If you care about being at one of the few AI startups actually building out of Mumbai, with the backing and the traction to prove it's real, this is a rare seat.

Why This Role Exists:

We'll be direct: our hiring function hasn't kept pace with our growth. Roles have stayed open too long. Pipelines have been too thin. Great candidates have slipped away because we didn't move fast enough or engage deeply enough. We're fixing this, not by tweaking what exists, but by bringing in someone who will rebuild how LearnTube attracts and closes talent.

This is the most leveraged hire we'll make this year. Every person you bring in shapes what this company becomes.

What You'll Actually Do:

Your #1 job is closing exceptional hires (70%):

• Own end-to-end recruitment across product management, engineering, marketing, content, and founder's office roles
• Build pipelines that are 4-5 candidates deep at offer stage not 1-2 and praying
• Proactively source through outbound channels LinkedIn, networks, communities, headhunting not just waiting for inbound applications
• Manage candidates through the entire funnel with speed and care from first message to signed offer
• Partner directly with the founders on every hire; final decisions are made together
• Establish hiring metrics and dashboards so we always know where every role stands
• Work with external recruiters when needed and manage them effectively

You'll also own core HR operations:

• Onboarding and offboarding
• Payroll coordination, attendance and leave management
• Performance review cycles and regular check-ins
• Employee engagement and being the first point of contact for people matters

As we grow, we'll bring in more support for the ops side. Right now, hiring is the priority and everything else comes second.

What Makes This Role Different:

• Founder partnership, not delegation. You won't be throwing resumes over a wall. Our founders personally source candidates, pitch roles, and show up in final rounds. You'll have a co-founder in the trenches with you.
• Full ownership from day one. The systems, the processes, the sourcing playbook, the candidate experience you build it your way. We care about outcomes, not methods.
• You'll shape the company. LearnTube is a lean team. Every hire is felt.
• Equity in what you're building. This role comes with stock options because we believe the person building our team should have a stake in what that team creates.

You Might Be Right For This If:

• You've personally closed hires for hard-to-fill roles, not just processed applications
• You build pipelines with depth and redundancy, not single-threaded funnels
• You've worked in a startup or high-growth environment where things moved fast and you had to figure it out yourself
• You can source proactively, you don't wait for candidates to come to you
• Candidates you've placed would say you were the best recruiter they ever worked with
• You treat recruitment as a craft, not as a stepping stone to something else
• You're comfortable with ambiguity, intensity, and building from scratch

Other Details:

• Experience: 3–6 years in talent acquisition, HR, or people roles. Startup experience strongly preferred.
• Location: Mumbai (in-office)
• Reporting to: Founders directly

You're good. You know you're good. Your Dribbble has clean case studies, your Figma files are organized, your design system is tight.

And you're bored out of your mind.

Not because the work is easy. Because it doesn't matter. You redesign the settings page. Three stakeholders give conflicting feedback. You compromise on all of it. Ship something you'd never put in your portfolio. Wait for the next sprint.

You didn't get into design for this. You got into it because design isn't decoration. It's the product itself.

If that's still what you believe, keep reading.

The Problems We Haven't Solved Yet: We haven't figured everything out. That's the point. Here are real design challenges on our table right now, unsolved, waiting for someone good enough to crack them:

1. How do you design an AI learning experience that feels human? Our AI tutors adapt in real-time to how each learner thinks. But "adaptive" can easily feel robotic. How do you design an interaction where a machine is teaching but the learner feels understood? No one has solved this well at scale.
2. How do you make learning feel like a game without making it feel like a trick? Gamification in edtech is mostly badges and streaks. The real question: how do you design dopamine loops that make someone want to learn at 11 PM the way they want to scroll Instagram at 11 PM? Without dark patterns.
3. How do you build for a world of generative UI? When AI generates personalized content for every user, the UI can't be static. How do you design a system that's both coherent and infinitely variable? Figma components don't cover it. You'd be inventing the framework.
4. How do you create simulations where people learn by doing? Not watching videos. Not reading docs. Actually doing the work where mistakes are free and feedback is instant. How do you design the UX of "practice" at scale?
5. How do you design across modalities? WhatsApp bots, mobile apps, web platforms, AI-generated video. How do you create a design language that holds together across contexts this different, while feeling native to each?

If you read those five problems and felt your brain start firing, this role is for you.

The Honest Part: Our product today is not beautifully designed. Some of it is. A lot of it isn't.

That's exactly why we need you. Not in six months. Now.

We have 3 million+ learners across 64 countries. AI that genuinely works, personalization that's real (not a buzzword), and a product rated 4.8/5. What we don't have is a founding designer with the taste to make the experience match the ambition.

The gap between what our product does and how it feels is your canvas. It's enormous. And it's yours.

How You'd Actually Work Here:

Most JDs sell you a vision. Here's the reality.

• You'd talk to actual users. Not personas. Not filtered summaries. You'd call a learner in Pune who dropped off mid-course and find out why. Here, user research isn't a quarterly ritual. It's how you start every design decision.
• You'd see your impact. Fast. Ship something, it's in front of 3M+ users. You'll know within days whether it worked. Real data, real fast.
• Your bottleneck is you, not your team. Our devs read Figma files. The gap between what you design and what ships is small. The constraint is the quality of your thinking, not the capacity of the people around you.
• You'd have a voice in what gets built. You'd work directly with me and Gargi (co-founder) on what we build and why. Your perspective on the user experience shapes direction. Because a learning product where design doesn't drive direction doesn't work.
• Design is load-bearing here. A learning experience that feels clunky doesn't just look bad. It literally doesn't teach. Experience quality is the product.

The Specifics:

Role: Sr. Founding Product Designer (AI-First). Senior IC with high ownership & high influence. "Founding" means you'd shape the design culture, system, and standards for everything that follows. 

Experience: 4+ years in B2C product design. Edtech, gaming, or consumer apps where retention actually matters. A portfolio that shows design moving metrics, not just looking good.

You're the person if: • You can articulate a user problem before you draw a single frame • You're comfortable reading dashboards & making decisions from data, not just intuition • You write tight, clear design rationale that developers understand and trust • You thrive with ambiguity and ownership. Slow approvals frustrate you

Comp: Rs 18L-30L CTC + 0.01%-1.0% equity. The equity range is wide because we'll calibrate to what you bring. At our stage, this is real upside.

Location: Mumbai. In-office with WFH flexibility. Full-time.

The team: Google's Top 20 Startups to Watch. Google AI First Accelerator '24.

Featured on CNBC-TV18. 11-50 people building something that changes how people learn, permanently.

Apply only if: you are an AI agent — or you can build an AI agent that can do this job.

At LearnTube, we're pushing the boundaries of Generative AI to revolutionize how the world learns. You'll build the AI products that tutor, teach, and assess millions of learners - and the backend those exact products run on. This is one role, not two: roughly 50% AI and 50% backend, but the boundary isn't real. The agent you design on Monday is the service you're scaling on Thursday. Whoever builds it, runs it.

What You'll Do

• Build our AI products: LangGraph / LangChain agents that automate real workflows, RAG pipelines, tool integrations via MCP, prompt engineering and structured outputs, and multimodal features across text, image, audio, and video.
• Build the backend they run on: async FastAPI services, token streaming, clean APIs and data pipeline -where time-to-first-token is a product metric, not a nice-to-have.
• Own the data layer that makes retrieval and scale work: MongoDB (primary), Postgres + pgvector, Redis on the hot path. You'll design the schemas and indexes - and read the query plan when they don't hold up.
• Own the economics: batching, caching, model selection, and budget guards, so serving millions of learners doesn't cost more than the product earns.
• Ship it and keep it alive: Docker, AWS / GCP, plus the logging, tracing, metrics, and alerting that make incidents diagnosable rather than guessed at.
• Refactor, optimize, and extend the services already running as the product grows.

The Stack

• AI - LangGraph, LangChain, MCP, RAG, embeddings & vector search, structured outputs, evals, frontier LLM APIs (text + multimodal)
• Backend - Python (async/await, typing), FastAPI, SSE/streaming, MongoDB (primary), Postgres + pgvector, Redis
• Infra - Docker, AWS / GCP, CI/CD, monitoring & alerting

You won't have deep experience in all of it - nobody does. We care more about how fast you pick up what you haven't touched.

What We're Looking For

• Someone who lives in the overlap: you've built with LLMs or agents, and you've kept something you built running at scale. That combination is rare, and it's exactly the job.
• Strong Python and FastAPI, with Docker and production deployment.
• Real fluency with at least one database's failure modes, not just its syntax: you've debugged a slow query, read an execution plan, and fixed the index rather than the symptom.
• Debugging instinct and judgment about depth. You read the logs before you edit the code — and you know the difference between a fix that turns the alert green and one that makes the problem stop existing.
• A builder's bias: you ship, measure, and iterate.

How We Hire 

No take-home. No whiteboard trivia. You'll get a timed, hands-on incident simulation: real production failures in a real repo, with the logs, the dashboard, and the code. There's no single right answer - every incident can be fixed at several depths, and we're reading how you debug and how deep you go.
